payers and render it more difficult to enforce

The PRESS has no intention of entering on
an elaborate discussion of woman's suffrage
at the present time. Indeed it would be
quite unnecessary, for people eonspieu-
iously identified with the movement seem to
DC doing that with sufficient fullness over
their own signatures in our columns What
they say the PRESS does mt hold itself re-
sponsible FOR and does not feel called upon
to defend. But part Of airs. CasweiPs
communication elsewhere published relates
to an editorial paragraph in the PRESS Of
yesterday in which it was said that the sign
ers Of the remonstIance would do well to
consider that the question before the Legls-
lature is, not giving the ballot to women. but
submitting TO the people an amendment to
the constitution giving to women equal polit-
zeal privileges with men. The frequency
with which Mrs. Caswell informs the PRESS
and the public that she has considered leads
to the inference that she regards the
remark of the PRESS as offensive or
uncalled for or both. The offence of the
PRESS consisted in calling attention in
respectful language TO an appar-
ent Misrepresentation. The paper which
Mrs. Caswell signed was addressed to the
legislature and purported to be a remon-
STRANGE against giving the ballot to woman"
As the legislature was not proposing to give
the ballot to women,b but was simply proposing
to give the voters of the State the opportuni-
ty to do so if they saw fit the wording of the
remonstrance naturally created suspicion
that the signers were laboring under mis-
apprehension in regard to the precise ques-
tion before the legislature. If that suspi-
cion was groundless then the signers of the
remonstrance read it carelessly, for the two
propositions are by no means identical in
letter or substance.

Mr.. j. N. Deering of Saco. in communi-
cation elsewhere published, though arguing
against an investigation of tuberculosis, pre-
sents one of the strongest possible reasons
why there should be an investigation. when
he says that exaggerated rumors concerning
the extent to which the disease is prevailing
in this State are in circulation abroad and
are inJuring the sale Of Maino cattle There
is no way SO effective to dispose of these ru-
mors as by demonstrating by thorough in
vestgation that they arc untrue. Assertions
made by this or that man that be does not
believe that there is a case of tuberculosis. in
this State are of very little account in dis
crediting these injurious stories. We can't
agree with Mr.. Deering that it will be wise
for the State to stock up the State College
again with herd. A herd is not needed
there for educational purposes, and it is for
educational purposes alone that the institu-
ton was created. The $4,000 or So, 900 which
the herd would cost can be spent to much
better advantage

The act of the Legislature enabling the
county commissioners Of Cumberland Coun-
ty to lay out ferry landing provided that
the expense should be borne by the County.
The commissioners refused to lay out the
landing and the petitioners appealed their
case to commission appointed by the SUI
preme Court. The commission was asked.
Just as the commissioners were, to lay out
landing at the expense of the county. They
decided in favor of the petitioners-tha is,
they decided that landing should be laid
out at the expense of the county. The Leg
islature is now asked to impose all the ex
pense of this landing on to this city. To grant
this request would be an act Of gross injus-
tice. The manner in which the expense was
to be borne was an essential element in the
commissions decision. Nobody has right
to assume that their decision would have
been the same if the law had provided that
the whole expense should be borne by the
city of Portland. But in order to impose
the entire burden upon Portland the Legis-
lature must assume this, which it has no
right to do, or treat the law of previous
Legislature, under which this commission
was appointed and the landing laid out,
with contempt.

OUR LITTLE GRANDCHILD.
Cleansed, Purified, and Beautifled BY
the Cuticura Remedies.

1t affords me pleasure to give you this report of
the cure OF our little grandchild by your CUTIcU-
RA REMEDIES. When six months old his left hand
began 10 swell and had every appearance of a
large boil We pouticed it, but ali to no purpose.
About five mouths after it became running sore.
Soon other sores formed He then had two of
them on each hand and as his blood became more
and more impure 1t took less time for them to
break out. A sore came on the chin, beneath the
under lip, which was very offensive. His head was
one solid scab, discharging great deal. This was
MS CONDITION at twenty-five months old, when |
undertook the care OF him, his mother having died
when he was little more than year old, OF con-
sumption (scrofnla of course). He could walk a
little, but could not get up II he fell down, and
could not move when in bed, having no use Of his
hands. Immediately commenced with the CuTI-
CURA REMEDIES, using the CUTIcURA and CUTI-
CURA SOAP freely, and when he had taken one
bottle OF the CUTICURA REsoLvENT, his head was
completely cured, and he was improved in every
way. We were very much encouraged, and con-
tinued the use of the Remedies for year and a
half. One sore after another healed, a bony mat
ter forming in each one of these five deep ones
Just before healing, which would finally grow loose
and were taken out; then they would healrapidly.
One OF these ugly bone formations / preserved.
After taking dozenand a half bottles he was
completely cured, and is now, at the age OF SIX
years, strong and healthy child. The scars on
his hands must always remain; his hands are
strong, though we once feared he would never lie
able TO use them. All that physicians did for him
using the CUTICURA REMEDIES and see the child
now consider it wonderful cure. If the above
facts are OF any use to YOU you are At liberty to

he appeared to his grandmother, who. being with

The Lewiston Journal thinks there will be
some difference of opinion as to the wisdom
OF the clause of the new lianor bill that
makes imprisonment the penalty for the first
offence for the illegal sale of LIQUOR To
some it will appear as If this penalty for a
first offence may in many cases either render
conviction less easy, or be used to bring the
law into discredit; and that the better way
would be to increase the fine to $500 or $500
for first offences. and then add imprisonment
for subsequent offences. On the other hand
1t is argued that in practice it is very difficult
to get case against liquor seller SO far adj
vanced as to send him to Jail. Violators of
the liquor law expect to get off with small
: fine, and If it can be settled that the keeping
of dram shop is certainly to be punished
with Imprisonment the penalty will have ten
times the effect that it now has. There
ought to be no difficulty in getting men who
persist in rumselling into Jail under the law
as itnow exists. The principal trouble with
a law that sends men to Jail for the first
offence will be that it will yield little reve-
nue. for it is going to be practically impossi-
BILE tc get fine out Of men and send them to
Jail at the same time. That will surely tend
to make the law unpopular with the tax

While the investigation of the alleged out
RACES in Washington county, Texas, is still
pending before a committee of the United
States Senate composed of both Republican ms
ana Democrats, resolution has been intro
duced in the Texas Legislature asserting
that the investigation by the Senate is a
fraud and evidence of hatred toward the
South. The Legislature has taken NJ action
on it, but its introduction clearly shows the
-disp6sition to diseredit in advance any in
quiry that may tend to show that citizens OF
the State have been deprived of their politi-
cal rights and outraged and prosecuted for
voting in opposition to the will Of the major
ity. If the facts are as narrated in the me-
mortal presented to the Senate every decent
Democrat in the country should denounce the
men who are responsible for them, and the
State that allows such men within its bor
ders without shutting themup in the peni-
Tertiary. If they are not true then the
Democrats of Texas ought to welcome this
investigation as means of showing that
they and their State have been maligned
An attempt to dscredit the investigation in
advance is practically confession that the
revelations it may make are dreaded.

The Presidents position on the dependent
pension bill would have been consistent at
least If he had vetoed the Mexican pen
sion bill, which is measure the same in
principle. If the dependent pension bill is
bad then the Mexican bin is bad. The Mex
lean bill pensions more Southern men, more
men who took part in the rebellion, and per-
haps that may be a recommendation for it in
the eyes Of a Democratic President, who
owes his election to the solid South, and may
explain the Inconsistency of his perform
ances with the two bills.

It's yet too early to know how the mem
bers elected to the Reichstag ON Monday
stand in relation to the Septennate. Indeed
the elections are not yet completed, for
good many second ballots will be necessary.
The indications are, however, that enough
supporters Of Bismarck's bill have been
elected to pass it. The Socialists seem to
have won some remarkable successes in
certain quarters, and In Berlin all the gov
eminent candidates were defeated.

Congressman Reed of Maine is a very
troublesome man to the Democrats of the

them on record as to the appropriation fol
armament and as general obstructionists
but on Saturday he scathed them unmerciful-

matter over, but with very bad success. in

Young Peoples History of Ireland. By
George Makepeace Towle. There is an
apology for this volume which the author
could not offer for his history of England,
viz. the comparative neglect Of the subject
and the real need of such work. The his
tory of Ireland is intimately connected with
that of England, and hence is usually made
part of the same. But the Irish claim that
their history as given by English writers is
not fairy written. English historians are
are said to be prejudiced and unveracious.
They win not find this fault in the present
work. 1t would be an unreasonable Irish
man who was not pleased with the picture
here drawn of his countrymen. They are
described as among the earliest Aryans in
Europe, and perhaps the first north of Italy
to be civilized and converted to Christianity.
For three hundred years while England was
barbarous, ireland enjoyed the blessings Of
learning, piety, peace and prosperity. There
seems to have been no drawback to her fe-
licity till the Mortimer invaded her shores
and their descent was small matter COM
